UKNM: Those who write HTML for food...

[Robert Hamilton]

Ah, finally some sense...thanks Elizabeth ;-)


Yes, HTML can be easy. Doing worthwhile things with it can also be very hard.

Anyone who's buying just HTML by-the-yard *is* being ripped off, because they 

could probably be doing it themselves.


The flipside of this: simple economics means that if HTML is even half the

story  behind that thing you do, I suspect you won't be doing it for very much

longer...


Anyone for added value?
